Wait mode

All right so we are just waiting for our I171H. Once we receive it, we go through the entire notary, Secretary of State, Vietnam Consulate process once again. Then our dossier will be complete and ready to be sent to Vietnam to be translated. Once it is translated (usually about a week's time) it will be sent to the Department of International Adoption (the new step in the process since March 1st) and we wait for our referral.

Fingerprinting Appointment

We got notice of our fingerprinting appointment for this Saturday morning. Also, our dossier will go to the Vietnam Consulate in San Francisco this week. Things are moving along but who knew there were so many steps?!

Progress

Our paperwork is back from the Oregon Secretary of State. It took less than a week! Next stop...San Francisco to the Vietnam Consulate. We are still waiting for our fingerprinting appointment.
